Spring Plate Nuts & Bolts Question
Can anyone tell me if there is anything special about the nuts and bolt in the picture below? (pic taken from jyl's thread on replating)
 I'm about to refurbish a spare set od springplates but I don't have these 4 bolts and the nuts that go with them. Are these just standard sizes that can be bought from regular stores or do I have to pay huge anounts to Porsche? Anyone know what size they are and what is required? Thanks.

The two on the right are the toe and camber adjusters. They are indeed special with eccentric offset.
edit: The two on the left could be replaced with ordinary stuff.

I'm not in any rush. The rear of my car has been too high for about 6 months now! Got to get these springplates cleaned up, re-plated and re-bushed. Quote:
I take it you mean the 2 on the right (camber & toe) are special and the 2 on the left are normal? Any idea what sizes are needed for the 2 'normal' ones and what other hardware (washers) etc is needed? Thanks

Chris,
Check out this For Sale thread from the used parts section. Looks like Eric has the eccentric bolts and nuts for a good price. >>>>911/Carrera parts for sale!<<<< Maybe he has the other two as well. Although, as Chuck said they're just regular bolts. I almost had to replace one that was marred, but it re-threaded after some work.
